ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. Since then, we've expanded across the U.S. and into Canada, with hospitals open 24/7, 365 days a year. At VEG do things differently, from having open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of all kinds (even exotics!), to creating an emergency experience that gives customers and patients the care they deserve.

We've also created a better experience for everyone who works here—our VEGgies! At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career. And yes to having a voice—and the support—to make an impact here in ways you never thought possible.

THE JOB

At VEG, we don't just hire Emergency Veterinary Assistants—we grow future emergency rockstars. You'll be in the heart of the action from day one, supporting the medical team, comforting pet parents, and learning the ropes in real time. You'll be there for everything—the triage, the treatments, and the tail wags. You're embarking on a path where careers start, grow, and thrive. Whether you're on your way to becoming an Emergency Registered Veterinary Technician or exploring where your passion can take you, we'll say yes to your growth every step of the way.

WHAT YOU'LL DO*

Be the first warm welcome and a steady support, triaging incoming patients and helping guide them toward care
Assist with treatments, veterinary nursing care, and diagnostics, from bloodwork and imaging to catheter placement and oxygen support
Work alongside our credentialed veterinary technicians and veterinarians to set up and monitor anesthesia and sedation cases
Set up and manage IV fluids, blood transfusions, and medication administration
Support every moment of care: outpatient or inpatient, exam room to treatment area.
Join patient rounds and stay close to the clinical picture to ensure continuity of care.
Learn how to perform CPR and become a RECOVER Certified Rescuer (training provided!)
Grow into more advanced responsibilities, such as anesthesia support, ultrasound, and catheterization through guided training pathways

As permitted by province law

WHAT YOU NEED

High school diploma or equivalent required
Enrolled in an OVMA-accredited veterinary technology program is a plus
1+ years in a veterinary assistant role (emergency or specialty experience is a bonus!)
Basic computer skills and an understanding of practice management software and electronic medical record keeping,
Excellent communication skills for collaborating with pet parents and your team
Fine motor skills for handling patients and medical equipment
Ability to stand for prolonged hours, kneel, and work on the floor as well as ability to lift up to 25 kg on own and able to support up to 40 kg with assistance.
Must be willing to work in a noisy environment with strong or unpleasant odours.
Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as needed basis based on hospital demands.
Ability to work well in a fast-paced environment with people from all backgrounds and different personality types.

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU

Competitive compensation (CA$22/hr-$28/hr)
Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work
Generous referral reward program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people
And the little (big) things, like comfy scrubs, cool VEG swag, food in the fridge for when you're hungry

DEI

At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and compassion. Our mission is "Helping people and their pets when they need it most." And we do that better when our VEGgies (employees) feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. That's why we're dedicated to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.

We are committed to providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that every voice is heard. Saying yes to VEG means helping us build a culture where your unique experiences and background contribute to a shared vision: being the world's veterinary emergency company.

VEG is committed to providing employment opportunities in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code. We aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all job applicants. If you require accommodation any time during the application process, assessment, or interview process, please advise us and we will work with you to meet your needs.
